FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Economy – Taking Stock
Speakers will discuss the economics of a changing community

Population dynamics have changed in Jefferson County. The League of Women Voters of Jefferson County will sponsor a free community meeting to address the impacts of these changes on Saturday, April 7 from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at St. Anthony Hospital, south entrance, 11600 W. 2nd Place, Lakewood 80228.

Natalie O’Donnell Wood, Senior Policy Analyst at The Bell Policy Center, will explore the effects of demographic changes on the economy – for individuals and governments – including government revenues and expenditures, a changing job market, income inequality, retirement security, healthcare costs and others.

Adam Paul, Mayor, City of Lakewood, will address the city’s approach to the impacts of population changes. How does a local government plan and prepare for changes in population demographics, revenue, needed services and an evolving job market?

The meeting is one in a series based on the results of a 2017 review of demographic changes in the county by the League of Women Voters Jeffco. A Health Care meeting was presented in March and a Transportation meeting is set for May. Visit www.lwvjeffco.org for more information.

The League of Women Voters of Jefferson County, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.
